Alternative Media Accounted for One-Third of Facebook Shares During Swedish Election

Alternative media news websites accounted for one-third of all the stories shared on Facebook during the Swedish election, according to a report that claims the influence of alternative media has grown in the country.

The study shows that most alternative media sites lean toward the right of the political spectrum and that on issues such as mass migration, they saw an even greater presence on Facebook, Swedish broadcaster SVT reports.

Just to be fair I do understand now why Luther hates Trump so much if he believes at all that Carl Marx was right . Trump is the polar opposite of Marxism that’s why he has to go , and if the US has a leader that’s anywhere close to what Trump is , that utopian world of Marxism can’t flourish .

I think the tax system can be improved to where there is a more equatable sharing of the burden. Big supporter of public education.
Yes, I am ok with individuals owning property (I own a little myself) and size of government isn't as important to me as it's purpose and efficiency.

I've always said that humans haven't evolved to the point where either capitalism or communism work. Both systems, in a perfect world, would lead to the same end. The intrinsic motivators are all that are different.

Capitalism works just fine, communism and the desire to be free most humans are born with will never be compatible.

All good examples of gov run entities characterized by increasing costs and decreasing quality.

That's because so many morons are elected. Again, a reflection of the populace. You get the government you deserve....which I guess helps explain the current predicament.

As has been and forever will be. The antidote would be to decrease the power these morons have over us.

Or maybe just quit electing morons. Were the founding fathers morons? Who was the first moron elected president? (Rhetorical, no need to answer.)

Guess what pays for everything you mentioned? Capitalism!

It does pay a portion. The millions of workers in the fields I listed also contribute a little. We will continue to have a blended economic system that evolves over time as needed.
